His free transportation didn’t take him very far! Bye, bye Tom! Stupid choices... Shaking my head. This didn’t have to happen.

Really... What does he think he is — a Democrat?

Sad to see but he sure made it easy for the swamp to get him.

Who would be preapproving and authorizing his travel? Let’s hope Trump isn’t doing that! And the IG is supposed to be investigating.

Swamp creature Gingrich is just trying to cover for a fellow Georgian, would be my guess.

I believe he said he would pay back only for his “seat”, rather than the actual cost of the planes—so about 10 cents on the dollar.

And my guess his negotiated resignation may not have included even that.

Price just got Alinsky-ed.

Conservatives are such fools.

Saul Alinsky’s Rules from Rules for Radicals

Saul Alinsky describes 24 rules in Rules for Radicals. Of those 24 rules, 13 are rules of “power tactics”:

1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy
thinks you have.”

2. “Never go outside the experience of your people.”

3. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the
enemy.”

4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.”

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

6. “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.”

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and
actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing
itself.”

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of
operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”

11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will
break through into its counterside.”

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive
alternative.”

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

The remaining 11 rules Alinsky describes are concerned with “the ethics of means and ends”:

1. “One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue … Accompanying this rule is the parallel one that one’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s distance from the scene of conflict.”

2. “The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.”

3. “In war the end justifies almost any means.”

4. “Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.”

5. “Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.”

6. “The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.”

7. “Generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.”

8. “The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”

9. “Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.”

10. “You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.”

11. “Goals must be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’ ‘Of the Common Welfare,’ ‘Pursuit of Happiness,’ or ‘Bread and Peace.’”

>>>You think McCain and Jeff Flake will vote to appoint him?
You could take the chance, but might end up with an open borders Attorney General<<<

Not sure what that has to do with anything.

They Voted for Sessions, right?

You obviously think Jeff Sessions is an effective AG. Many disagree.

I like him, but he is a Southern Gentleman in a world full of Uncivilized Leftist Scum. You ether play the game they would play against you or you lose. So far we’re losing.

Let me know when the Democrat Perp walks begin. I’ll recuse myself from the argument until that happens.

So you think that guarantees they will vote again for an opponent of illegal immigration? I don’t.

>>>> You obviously think Jeff Sessions is an effective AG.


That’s your assumption. All that is “obvious” from my post is that I think there is a risk of not being able to get through the Senate someone better than Sessions.

Whatever.

I still hope for THE day that I wake up to see Justice served.

I am recusing myself from further comment. LOL

Some people don’t have a lick of sense. You have to wonder how they got as far in life as they did.

I had high hopes for him when it came to repealing and replacing Obamacare.

That's why he was taken out.

It happens that in the United States, Attorney Generals must be confirmed by the Senate, that’s all.

I am obviously aware of that, which is why my Post to you included this: >>>They Voted for Sessions, right?<<<

Are we arguing over this or something? I stated that many feel that Jeff Sessions is not suited for the AG Position.

Time will tell, but the days and months tick by and all we see are corrupt Obama era Politicos getting away with murder.

Now, for the third and last time, I am recusing myself from this pointless back and forth conversation. Have a good day.

Just like Jeff Sessions, he should have stayed in the Congress. Both of them would have been much more effective in helping get President Trump’s Agenda moving forward, especially Jeff Sessions in the Senate.

Sessions was my Senator and I agree 100%. In fact I told many a FReeper that Sessions was a straight arrow who would bend over backwards to NOT go after any political enemies. No surprise here.
